Ecco un riepilogo dei premi annuali in ognuna delle sei conference principali della Division I
ACC
L’avevamo detto un mese fa: perché KenPom non si era filato di striscio Isaiah Wong? Infatti è il senior di Miami a strappare il POY dell’ACC. Ineccepibili gli altri premi: Capel vince il COY mentre per la prima volta dal 2006-07 nel primo quintetto non c’è nemmeno un giocatore di Duke.

Freshmen of the Year: Kyle Filipowski – Duke

Primo quintetto: Isaiah Wong – Miami
Tyree Appleby – Wake Forest
Jamarius Burton – Pittsburgh
Hunter Tyson – Clemson
Armando Bacot – North Carolina
Big 12
Nella conference più tosta della Division I, Kansas riesce nuovamente a fare incetta di premi importanti dal POY al DPOY passando per il MIP.
Player of the Year: Jalen Wilson – Kansas (all’unanimità)
Coach of the Year: Jerome Tang – Kansas State

Keyontae Johnson – Kansas State
Jalen Wilson è il 12° Jayhawks a vincere il POY negli ultimi venticinque anni.
Big East
La prima storica regular season vinta da Marquette andava celebrata: i Golden Eagles monopolizzano metà dei premi individuali, dove rimane a secco, giustamente, una UConn deludente. Secondo titolo consecutivo di DPOY per Kalkbrenner.
Player of the Year: Tyler Kolek – Marquette
Coach of the Year: Shaka Smart – Marquette
Freshmen of the Year: Cam Whitmore – Villanova
Defensive Player of the Year: Ryan Kalkbrenner – Creighton
Most Improved Player of the Year: Joel Soriano – St John’s
Sixth Man of the Year: David Joplin – Marquette
Primo quintetto: Jordan Hawkins – UConn
Tyler Kolek – Marquette
Souley Boum – Xavier
Bryce Hopkins – Providence
Ryan Kalkbrenner – Creighton
Adama Sanogo – UConn
Big Ten
Chi l’avrebbe mai detto che Zach Edey fosse il POY della Big Ten? Scherzi a parte, la Big Ten premia il giocatore più dominante dell’anno e il coach della sorpresa più grande: Chris Collins di Northwestern. Piccola discrepanza in merito al quintetto: media e coach d’accordo per 4/5, poi bagarre.
Player of the Year: Zach Edey – Purdue
Coach of the Year: Chris Collins – Northwestern
Freshmen of the Year: Jalen Hood-Schifino – Indiana
Defensive Player of the Year: Caleb McConnell – Rutgers/Chase Audige – Northwestern
Sixth Man of the Year: Payton Sandfort – Iowa
Primo quintetto: Jalen Pickett – Penn State
Terrence Shannon Jr – Illinois (Coaches)/Boo Buie – Northwestern (Media)
Kris Murray – Iowa
Trayce Jackson-Davis – Indiana
Zach Edey – Purdue
Jalen Hood-Schifino looked like a lottery pick carving up Purdue's drop defense with floaters, mid-range jumpers, layups with both hands and some really smart reads off a live dribble in a huge win at Purdue. Finished with 35 points on 14 of 24 shooting. pic.twitter.com/SjQdHrxYsW

Pac-12
É un dominio UCLA in questi premi della Pac-12, ma la cosa che balza all’occhio è la dimensione del primo quintetto: dieci giocatori, la maniera più democristiana possibile di non scegliere. Terza nomination per Campbell e Jaquez, seconda per Tubelis. Peccato per Jaylen Clark, fresco DPOY che salterà per infortunio la post-season.
Player of the Year: Jaime Jaquez Jr – UCLA
Coach of the Year: Mick Cronin – UCLA
Freshmen of the Year: Adem Bona – UCLA
Defensive Player of the Year: Jaylen Clark – UCLA
Most Improved Player of the Year: Oumar Ballo – Arizona
Sixth Man of the Year: Reese Dixon-Waters – USC
Primo quintetto: Tyger Cambpell – UCLA
Boogie Ellis – USC
Drew Peterson – USC
Jaime Jaquez Jr. – UCLA
Tristan Da Silva – Colorado
Mouhamed Gueye – Washington State
Azuolas Tubelis – Arizona
N’Faly Dante – Oregon
Brendan Carlson – Utah
Oumar Ballo – Arizona
SEC
Nella SEC hanno deciso di dare spazio ad altre storie oltre ad Alabama. Ed ecco premiato Buzz Williams e il suo 2023 favoloso e Jerry Stackhouse che ha salvato la panchina a Vanderbilt.
Player of the Year: Brandon Miller – Alabama
Coach of the Year: Buzz Williams – Texas A&M/Jerry Stackhouse – Vanderbilt
Freshmen of the Year: Brandon Miller – Alabama
Defensive Player of the Year: Liam Robbins – Vanderbilt
Sixth Man of the Year: Antonio Reeves – Kentucky/Jahvon Quinerly – Alabama
Primo quintetto: Brandon Miller – Alabama
Colin Castleton – Florida
Oscar Tshiebwe – Kentucky
Tolu Smith – Mississippi State
Kobe Brown – Missouri
Santiago Vescovi – Tennessee
Wade Taylor IV – Texas A&M
Liam Robbins – Vanderbilt
🇩🇪 Tristan da Silva was as prolific as efficient (27 PTS on 11-13 FG and 4-4 FT) and scored almost half of Colorado's points in a 58-55 win over Washington State. Another terrific display of scoring versatility to go along with an impactful defensive presence. pic.twitter.com/2yKemGAAN9
